Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Can anyone tell me how effective the Limbsaver slip on butt pad is with the 45-70.
I have a Henry H010 that I have hunted with the last couple of years and love. I handload for it pretty much exclusively.
I had shoulder surgery at the end of March for a torn bicep. I haven't shot it since but, I have been cleared by my Dr. to resume my activities. He told me I would probably have to build back to my previous activities. I just ordered Skinner sights for my rifle and picked up one of the Limbsavers for it. Should I remove the factory pad or just add the Limbsaver over it. Also how much will this actually reduce the recoil. Any actual experience would be greatly appreciated.
I intend to start back with very light loads and work my way back up. My hunting load has been 405grain hollow base hard cast bullets at about 1600fps. I plan on starting back with a small charge of Unique to drop the velocity to around 800fps as a starting point.
Thanks in advance

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Welcome to the forum, isme - sounds like you have good plan with your H010. We've got limbsavers on a 45-70 H&R Buffalo Classic and a New England Firearms 12 Ga Single-shot shotgun. Both guns are relatively light and can kick hard with typical factory loads. The limbsavers really make a difference in the felt recoil - makes shooting these guns much more enjoyable. I would put the limbsaver right over the factory pad on your H010 and see if the length of pull still works for you...

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Thanks for the info Tracortad,
I never really had a problem shooting it prior to the surgery and now I'm anxious to get back to shooting before hunting season. I've got until Nov. but I also realize how far I've got to go.

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
I put a slip-on limb saver on my Marlin 45-70. It very effective .
I can shoot all day, 80+ rounds, using 300gr and 405gr at Trapdoor pressures.

Best on a speedy and good recovery from your surgery.
And hope the Limbsaver works effectively to protect your shoulder.
Take care.

Welcome to the forum from CT. I look forward to your range reports, too; and it sounds like you'll be taking it slow and easy. Glad you're here.

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Can’t help you with the pad question as I run the factory pad on my old Marlin.45-70. Wanted to say hi, have enjoyed your comments on BCUSA. (PaPa K there).
